I was given this bottle a few years ago and have had it tucked away in the cellar since then. What a lovely wine with a few years of age on it - great fruit, depth and balance with lots going on. Well worth the wait and wish I had some more of this vintage. If you have any then there is no hurry to drink but tasting pretty fine right now so not need to wait either...

The Dirty Dozen Tasting 2013 (Il Botaccio, London): Cherry with some creamy, vanilla oak on the nose. The palate is attractively savoury but then just a little drying on the finish; feels a little too 'worked'. 16/20.

Drank in Hong Kong - China Club
I was surprised to learn that one of our group was the owner of the vineyard.
Very nice new world pinot with a lot of Burgundy feel to it. Nose of cherries, raspberries vanilla and spice. Nice mouth and length. Still very young.
